Catch Pokémon On Google Maps

Not exactly as shown in the video, but Google isn't lying. You can catch Pokémon using your iOS or Android device! For April Fools.

Opening up Google Maps and going to the Search bar shows 'Start' above the usual options. Tapping Start takes your map to the Pokémon Lab in Geneva - with a Metagross just south. Tap on it, then you can catch it!  Then your Pokédex has begun.

The aim of the game is to catch 150 Pokémon, selected from throughout the various generations. Those who manage to catch 'em all will be in with a chance to go to Google's offices and fight to become the Pokémon Master. Deadline is April 2nd.

Although what that exactly will entail is unknown.

You can find hints on Google's Twitter, Google+ and Facebook accounts. Although there is a Raichu in Oxford, go before April Fools ends!
